I was doing some searches for globalization in C# and one of the tags I saw that popped up in my search was cultureinfo. If I recall, one of the criteria for the usefulness of a tag was whether or not the tag could stand alone in a question.

The biggest issue I see with cultureinfo is that the tag seems to almost exclusively reference the System.Globalization.CultureInfo class in the .NET Framework. This sort of information is implicit for us users of C# but outside of C# it may not necessarily exist.

I did a quick scan of the questions page for cultureinfo and I didn't really see any questions that were just for the CultureInfo. Everything I saw is tagged with something else that refers to .NET in some shape or form.

So, should this tag be removed? It seems like deadweight and doesn't really convey any information on it's own.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

"This question pertains only to a specific site in the Stack Exchange Network. Questions on Meta Stack Exchange should pertain to our network or software that drives it as a whole, within the guidelines defined in the help center. You should ask this question on the meta site where your concern originated." – Roombatron5000, gnat, nicael, Shadow Wizard, animuson

Doesn't convey any information? You just said that it pretty much references System.Globalization.CultureInfo. Therefore, tagging something with cultureinfo tells us that the question has something to do with System.Globalization.CultureInfo. That's hardly deadweight.
